About the foot and the mile
The foot is divided into 12 inches and is used for personal height in the US and UK, building dimensions in the US and aircraft altitude worldwide: airliners cruise at roughly 35,000 feet.
The statute mile equals 5,280 feet. It is the official road-distance unit in the United States and United Kingdom, where speed limits are posted in miles per hour, and it is also used in running and aviation contexts.
One mile equals 5,280 feet, which makes the mile the longer unit of the two.
